WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Reignite the campfire and take a trip down memory lane with Krispy Kreme's newest flavor-filled limited-time offerings.

Now through May 30, Krispy Kreme is bringing families and friends together with a delicious duo of campfire-inspired treats. No camping trip is complete without S'mores, and Krispy Kreme has created a yummy interpretation of this classic snack—the S'mores doughnut. This new oldie but goodie has a delicious Kreme™ filling, and is topped with chocolate icing and graham cracker crumbles—sure to be the treasured treat of the season. Krispy Kreme is also offering another scrumptious option for fireside chats—the Chocolate Fudge Cake doughnut, featuring Hershey's® cocoa. Taking the yum factor to new heights, this chocolate cake doughnut is blended with Hershey's cocoa, glazed and topped with chocolate icing and chocolate sprinkles.

"You don't have to camp out to enjoy Krispy Kreme's new Campfire Treats," said Ron Rupocinski, corporate chef at Krispy Kreme. "You can also share these amazing doughnuts with friends and loved ones alike by incorporating them in recipes like our new Fudge Cake Unbuckled or Krispy Kreme Cheesecake recipe, which are available on Krispy Kreme's Facebook fan page. It's simple, yet delicious."
